Long Nose and Hump Nose Rhinoplasty
Case study of a female patient in her 20s who underwent rhinoplasty to correct a long, drooping tip and a dorsal hump for a more youthful and refined appearance.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Long, drooping nasal tip
# Uneven bridge due to a dorsal hump
* Consultation
# The patient’s primary concern was that her long, drooping nasal tip made her look older than her actual age.
# The plan was to create a shorter nose with an ideal nasolabial angle, ensuring the tip was lifted without looking overly ‘upturned’.
* Surgical Plan
# Bridge Rhinoplasty
- Hump correction
- Silicone implant
- Osteotomy
# Tip Rhinoplasty
- Septal extension graft
- Long nose correction
- Bulbous tip correction
* Post-operative Progress
1. In the post-operative results, a natural yet sharp nasal tip was achieved without excessive nostril exposure, exactly as the patient requested.
2. By using the septum to support the columella, the nasolabial angle was improved, making the line connecting the nose to the philtrum look more sophisticated and beautiful.
3. The wide bridge became narrower and higher, drawing focus to the center of the face. This added dimension to a previously flat appearance, creating a slimming effect on the face that the patient was very satisfied with.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is long nose rhinoplasty necessary?
Long nose rhinoplasty may be considered when the tip of the nose droops long, making one look older than their actual age, or when it deviates from the ideal nasolabial angle, causing an imbalance in the overall facial harmony. In this case, it was performed to resolve the stress caused by a long, drooping nasal tip.
How is aquiline nose correction performed?
Aquiline nose correction is performed to improve the unevenness of the nasal bridge. In this case, silicone implants and osteotomy were used to make the nasal bridge narrower and higher for aquiline nose correction.
What materials are used for nose tip surgery?
Various materials can be used for nose tip surgery. In this case, septal extension grafting was used to correct the long, drooping nasal tip, create an ideal nasolabial angle, and also perform bulbous nose correction.
What are the overall facial changes after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, you can achieve a three-dimensional effect on the entire face, making it appear smaller. In this case, the previously wide nasal bridge became narrower and higher, drawing attention to the center and making the face appear smaller and more refined.
What will the shape of the nasal tip be like after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, you can expect a natural yet prominent nasal tip. In this case, the patient was highly satisfied with the natural and prominent nasal tip that did not show the nostrils excessively after the surgery.
